Introspective Sherlock post-Reichenbach song?

[aeron_lanart]

Er yes, I've been doing it again - getting Reichenbach feels from a song I've known for years.

This time it's Sherlock's turn. It might not be a surprise for you that the song is by the same band who did what I think of as John's song, Without Words - The Last Dance.

The whole song makes me think of Sherlock alone somewhere, far away from John and unable to return because to do so would put John at risk, thinking of him - thinking of *them* - and missing him so much that he's only just realising that John is a part of him.

Everything I am
Everything we were
Everything I've become
Everything I am
Everything I miss
It's you most of all

See what I mean? It's called Become Forever.

The rest of the lyrics, plus a vid (as well as John's song if you missed me going on about previously) are behind the cut.

Become Forever

To not forget you won't take a secret
Won't take memory of our life
You're a part of this forever
You become in all of me

To which life opposes everything upholds us
In memory we all share the doubts
To all life's connections, we live in irony
We change forever with every single loss
With everything that I miss

These things are more than I can share
These things are more than I can go alone, to go alone

With everything that I am
With everything that we were
And I hate to live with the chains
With everything I've become
Everything that I know
And I hate to know without you
Everything that I miss
It's you most of all
Everything I fear
To go alone, to go alone
To want, to fear
To miss and go alone

Everything I am
Everything I've become
Everything I miss
It's you most of all
With everything I am
With everything we were
Everything I've become
Everything I am
Everything I miss
It's you most of all

Everything I am
Everything I've become
Everything I miss
It's you most of all

Everything I am
Everything we were
Everything I've become
Everything I am
Everything I miss
It's you most of all

As for John's song, Without Words, Mandy made the most fantastic vid for it, that you can view here. Here are the lyrics:

Without Words

I lie awake at night for I can’t sleep, I wish this were a dream
Here I cry where no one sees my heart and how I hide

I cannot stop the tears as I remember who you were
I can’t forget your eyes as I kissed your head and said goodbye

That moment inside I changed
Now no one seems too strong to fall

Catch me now
Catch me now I’ve lost my way

Never far could I find you always there always
Now I find I can’t escape this sorrow haunting me

And if I stop to feel nothing takes away
This empty heart I hold and treasure for it’s all I have

It’s easy to forgive, to say it’s all in vain
It’s easy to pretend, to smile and look away
But I want to tell you more the things I could not say
To tell you how I love, to tell you I’m the same

Catch me now

Let me fall and see,
Let me fall and believe I’m breaking

I want nothing,
Nothing more to live
And nothing more to feel,
Nothing more to hate
And nothing more so real

You held my hand, dried your eyes
Gave me comfort as you said
It’s alright, it’s ok
Now it’s over I’m not afraid
I’ll miss your heart miss your smile
Remember always who you are
For as I live, you live
Never will I say goodbye

Never could I write you into words
Never could I write you into words
Never could I write you into words
Never could I write you into words

Er yes, and now I must away to my bed and do some of this sleeping lark that's supposed to be good for you, especially when you're on nights. Why does music I've known for years decide to eat my brain with Sherlock associations at the most inopportune moments?

Just remembered, I also never let you know about the job - unfortunately I didn't get it.
